Guess it all depends on how long you want to hold off.. If you break down, getting one of the ones that are programmably upgradable, and have hinted they might do it in the future, would increase your odds of not having to buy another..

There was rumblings about Iriver adding it in a later firmware upgrade... any news on that? Or were they unable to due to size issues and might wait for future (larger Flash ram) units? I forget where that was last...
